Avant que John devienne l\u2019homme responsable et fiable que tous ont connu, il \u00e9tait un jeune gar\u00e7on actif toujours \u00e0 la recherche de sensations fortes. N\u00e9 \u00e0 Halifax et \u00e9lev\u00e9 \u00e0 Mount Uniacke, John ressentait constamment le besoin de bouger. Il adorait jouer dehors avec ses amis pour faire du v\u00e9lo, jouer \u00e0 la balle, au hockey et au golf. Il a jou\u00e9 au hockey du niveau Pee Wee \u00e0 Midget et il avait un tel penchant pour la bagarre qu\u2019on lui a donn\u00e9 le surnom de \u00ab Scrapper \u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de sept ans, John a re\u00e7u en cadeau une Honda 50 qu\u2019il conduisait sur son terrain et dans sa cour. Apr\u00e8s avoir convaincu sa m\u00e8re d\u2019embarquer \u00e0 l\u2019arri\u00e8re de sa moto, il percuta un arbre, ce qui mit fin au d\u00e9sir de sa m\u00e8re d\u2019\u00eatre sa passag\u00e8re. John \u00e9tait tellement \u00e9pris de son bolide que la nuit, il restait debout sur son lit et l\u2019admirait par la fen\u00eatre.<\/p>\n

John \u00e9tait populaire parce qu\u2019il \u00e9tait dr\u00f4le et attachant. Toutefois, il \u00e9tait aussi appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 pour son grand c\u0153ur puisqu\u2019il \u00e9tait gentil et attentionn\u00e9. Il se liait constamment d\u2019amiti\u00e9 avec ceux qui en avaient besoin et d\u00e9fendait toujours ceux qui \u00e9taient exclus. Ses amis l\u2019appelaient \u00ab John Boy \u00bb, un diminutif de \u00ab John Boy Walton \u00bb, surnom affectueux que lui donnait son grand-p\u00e8re. John adorait porter des bijoux, surtout en or, m\u00eame si cela lui valait quelques moqueries de la part des autres enfants.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame s\u2019il \u00e9tait un peu fougueux, lorsque John a rencontr\u00e9 sa douce moiti\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 15 ans, lorsqu\u2019il tomba amoureux, il s\u2019assagit aussit\u00f4t. La premi\u00e8re fille du couple est n\u00e9e alors que John avait 16 ans et il s\u2019est mari\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 20 ans. Pendant cette p\u00e9riode, John a obtenu son dipl\u00f4me d\u2019\u00e9tudes secondaires \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole Windsor Royal pour ensuite travailler dans une station-service. John et sa femme ont eu deux autres enfants; un gar\u00e7on et une fille.<\/p>\n

Il semblait tout \u00e0 fait naturel que John s\u2019engage dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e. John voulait aider les gens en plus d\u2019avoir un emploi stable pour offrir un style de vie stable \u00e0 sa famille. Les \u00e9v\u00e8nements du 11 septembre 2001 furent son inspiration. La fille de John lui a demand\u00e9 comment ils pouvaient apporter leur aide et c\u2019est rapidement apr\u00e8s que John s\u2019est enr\u00f4l\u00e9. <\/p>\n

Discret et sensible, John \u00e9tait un mari et un p\u00e8re d\u00e9vou\u00e9. Il \u00e9tait protecteur, particuli\u00e8rement avec sa famille, de qui il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s proche. John \u00e9tait respect\u00e9 de tous et ses amis faisaient souvent appel \u00e0 ses judicieux conseils. En fait, il \u00e9tait si pr\u00e9voyant qu\u2019il avait organis\u00e9 ses fun\u00e9railles avec sa femme la veille de son d\u00e9part pour l\u2019Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame s\u2019il \u00e9tait s\u00e9rieux de nature, John avait aussi un c\u00f4t\u00e9 sentimental. Il aimait \u00e9crire de la po\u00e9sie, surtout \u00e0 propos des membres de sa famille. Il a entre autres \u00e9crit un po\u00e8me qui parlait des sandales de sa plus jeune. Ce po\u00e8me est toujours dans une bo\u00eete, dans le placard de cette derni\u00e8re. La femme, les enfants, les parents et le fr\u00e8re de John accordent une grande valeur aux lettres qu’il leur a \u00e9crites avec bienveillance dans l\u2019\u00e9ventualit\u00e9 o\u00f9 il ne reviendrait pas. Il y exprimait son amour et sa gratitude. Aussi, John n\u2019\u00e9tait pas toujours s\u00e9rieux; il avait un humour narquois, accompagn\u00e9 d\u2019un sourire en coin. Il adorait agacer les gens et on ne pouvait jamais savoir quand il allait lancer une blague.<\/p>\n

Lors d\u2019occasions sp\u00e9ciales, la famille de John lui rend hommage en lui \u00e9crivant des lettres qu\u2019elle ins\u00e8re dans des ballons pour ensuite les envoyer dans le ciel.<\/p>\n
